Tri-Previfem
Tri-Previfem is a combination oral contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy. It contains two active ingredients: ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and norgestimate (a progestin), which work together to inhibit ovulation, alter the uterine lining, and thicken cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg and fertilization from occurring. Tri-Previfem follows a triphasic dosing schedule, meaning it delivers different hormone levels at three points in the menstrual cycle, which helps more closely mimic the body’s natural hormone fluctuations.
